Be it known that we, ZEBULON Jiicons and WILLIAM HORNE, both of SaltLake City, in the county of Salt Lake and Territory of Utah, haveinvented a new and Improved Metal- Polishing Composition, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

Our polish consists of the following ingredients. combined in theproportions stated, viz: tripoli, one and two-thirds pound; coaloil,onepint; camphor, (spirits or gun1,) one and one-half ounce; spirits ofammonia, one and one-halfounce; spermaceti, two and two-thirds ounces.

In preparing the polish, mix the liquids, melt or shave the spermaceti,and mix it and the tripoli with theliquids when cold or while beingheated, and stir the mixture over a fire until the ingredients arethoroughly intermingled.

The polish when cold is ready for use, or to be put into boxes formarket.

The polish can be applied witha rag,waste, or sponge, and requires butlittle rubbing.

To facilitate drying and economize time and labor, the surface to whichthe paste has been applied can be rubbed with a rag, Waste, or spongedipped in whiting or lamp-black until the same surface looks dry, andthen rubbed with a dry rag, waste, or sponge to give it a polish.

Whiting is preferable for house-ware and in places Where cleanliness isdesirable, but in other places lamp-black can be used.

The whiting or lamp-black form no part of 35 drops of machine-oil orcoal-oil poured upon it will render it again suitable for use.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Let- 45 ters Patent, is

The herein-described metal polish, consisting of tripoli, coal-oil,camphor, spirits of ammonia, and spermaceti, in the proportionsspecified.
